Sentenced: 16YO Dad Bit 6-Week-Old Reggie's Nose & Swung Him By The Leg Killing Him

[Sugar Cookie]

A teenage couple were today convicted over the death of their six-week-old son after he was bitten on the nose and violently swung by the leg.

Doulton Phillips, 17, of Southampton, murdered his infant son Reggie before Alannah Skinner, 19, failed to call an ambulance in a sick bid to 'protect' her partner.

Phillips, who was 16 at the time, took class A drug ecstasy and Skinner drank alcohol at a party which they took Reggie to hours before his murder in February.

Helpless Reggie was left with catastrophic fatal injuries including a fractured skull after his father bit him on the nose and swung him by the leg.

Six-week-old Reggie suffered a series of fractured ribs and a spiral break to one of his legs caused by being violently swung by Phillips.

Reggie's parents can be identified for the first time today as a judge lifted a ban preventing their identities from being published following their convictions.

Today at Winchester Crown Court, Phillips was convicted of murder after jurors delivered a unanimous verdict, having been deliberating for four days.

The teenager held his head in his hands and later collapsed as the verdict was delivered and now faces life in prison after the horrific attack.

Skinner was today convicted of willful neglect and failure to protect Reggie after she failed to seek help after he was gravely injured.

The young mother, who was 18 at the time, sobbed as jurors delivered a majority verdict on one count and a unanimous verdict on the other.

The father claimed he 'could not remember' what happened while the mother said she didn't neglect her son as she 'loved him very much'.

Justice Robin Spencer released Skinner on bail while Phillips was carried into custody after collapsing.

These two wouldn't have been able to care for a pet much less a child. I can't even.

@Satanica @Brillig

I do not think they got what they deserved

Phillips has been given the equivalent of life imprisonment for youth offenders - and will serve a minimum of 15 years.

Skinner has been sentenced to 30 months in young offenders.

Okay so I'm not even sure where to start. Like this baby had no chance. Moms an alky slutchild and Dads a druggie skank child...clearly the babys grandparents (both sets, i hate them all) did a shit ass piss poor job of raising humans (apparently caring for life and using condoms wasn't an important lesson taught at home). So these little degenerate monsters find each other, then have a baby, whom in 6 weeks they manage to murder violently. WOW. Can we sterilize them now? Please?
